      Feb 2010 - Dec 2013
      Mechanical Engineering Student

      The BSc(Eng) curriculum was structured to supply a solid grounding in fundamental engineering science, with an emphasis on developing generalised problem solving skills.The first two years of study were common to each of the three branches - Mechanical, Industrial and Aeronautical. From the third year of study the courses became biased towards the study of mechanical engineering systems, reflected in courses such as fluid dynamics, system response and control, stress analysis, mechanics of machines, heat transfer, and thermodynamics. The second half of the final year was dedicated to project (design and research) work usually industry relevant or potential post-graduate topics. The important central subject of mechanical engineering design integrates this theory together with economics, materials, manufacturing processes and ergonomics to create innovate solutions to meet typical needs of industry or society at large, in the form of new products or systems.
